If the White House decides it can defy the will of the courts, then the people must defy the will of the White House.

@georgetakei You mean domestic courts, right? International courts have always been fair game as far as I can tell.

@georgetakei too many people believe deceptive media. They drank the Koolaid. Political media is responsible for this. Political Media must be exposed. Admission of guilt is needed by those who deceived others. Unwinding cults is a very hard thing to do

@georgetakei It's OK to disobey. It is time for everyone to decide what their red lines are, and what form their resistance is going to take.

@georgetakei Fun fact from Wikipedia - "A high crime can be done only by someone in a unique position of authority, which is political, who does things to circumvent justice." You can't more directly circumvent justice than to ignore a directive from a member of the judiciary. Impeachment is the appropriate next step.

Honestly every goddam major company and investor in the US has a lot at stake in the protection of the rule of law in this country. (With the exception of the South African madman who has grabbed control of the White House.)
They'd better start working their lobbyists and wholly owned Republican Senators to stop this. They can. Hey guys. Tell them to bounce Kash Patel. That would be a warning.

@georgetakei Everything the Nazis did in their consolidation of power was technically legal under their constitution and it took them about a decade to achieve full control. Now we're seeing how quickly it can go when the leader just ignores the constitution and a significant chunk of the population supports it. Speedrunning the end of an empire.

It would seem that the courts could enforce their decisions in spite of Trump. If his orders are deemed illegal, those who received those orders cannot carry them out. So the underlings should already know they are not obliged to carry out illegal orders.

@georgetakei That's why 47 has prisons in El Salvador, Russia, North Korea, and right here at home. Pretty soon he'll have mass graves, too, for the "Lunatic Left," and "The Enemy Within."

What happens when the executive ignores the judicial? You get your face on the $20 bill.
As #AndrewJackson said:
"John Marshall has made his decision; now let him enforce it!"

@georgetakei well, that's indeed the question, thanks for bringing it up. In most #bananarepublics it's not the citizens forcing the #dicator out, it's the #army taking over. We'll see if the #US qualifies.

@georgetakei Wasn't this the reason for the 2nd Amendment, for which the NRA has already sacrificed thousands of children?
A π΄πΆππΆ (hiti) is an ancient Newah urban water feature: a stepped, sunken courtyard with waterspouts and a central pool. These are fed through a remarkable network of pipes, reservoirs, and irrigation systems drawing water from mountain springs dozens of kilometres away. Every day, hundreds of people from the neighbourhood come to draw water, bathe, and exchange news. They are a unique and precious feature of Newa urban architecture through which neighbourhoods are created.
